St. Olaf College general photograph collection

This collection, created by a former college archivist, consists of photographs and other materials dating from the late 1800s to the early 2000s. It features a wide range of subjects, including St. Olaf College buildings, academics, social and academic activities, people, and the Northfield, Minnesota area.

A former archivist at St. Olaf College created this artificial collection, categorizing material by subject and a devised and occasionally inconsistent numbering system, with some material pulled from other collections. The collection mainly consists of photographs, but also contains other materials, such as photocopies, reproductions, negatives, photograph slides, documents, cutlines, correspondence, and paper ephemera. Some images are in multiple records. Dating from the late 1800s to the early 2000s, most materials were created at St. Olaf College or the local area, although some national and international materials are also present. Main topics include St. Olaf College buildings, academics, social and academic activities, people, and the Northfield, Minnesota, area. Please be advised that the materials included in this collection reflect the historical context and culture of the time they were created. As a result, some of the content may be outdated or considered offensive by modern standards. The information within this collection does not reflect the views of the St. Olaf College Archives but is available in its original form to facilitate research.
